Definitely missed Mollica up forward. Must have been some injury he had as he didn't play at all during the finals. Looks as though round 18 could be his last game for the Mountain Bloods.

Derby103 mentioned in an earlier post that in the second division grand final Kinglake never fired a shot. In the first division grand final Olinda didn't even raise the gun. Out played. Out muscled. Out coached. Out everything. Full credit to Healesville who showed that you don't have to...

but this year has been very stressful from disrespectful people around the completion and I always said the day I stopped enjoying going to the footy would be signal for me that it was time to step back, not sure if any of you read the footy record on Saturday but there was an insightful piece...

Second division was up for grabs pretty much all year but that's the way grand finals go I guess. I don't think the six day break comes into at all, especially at local level. I don't even think it has that much influence at AFL to be honest, I think it's just something that clubs can use as...

Have the ATO been asked to make a ruling on this? My sister is an accountant and she is unaware of any pending legislation in relation to income. She did say that at the moment, as far as local footy goes, that it's either assessable income or exempt income if it's classed as a "hobby." She...

Hottes and Millwood named amongst Olinda's best on Saturday, but Mendes and Davies failed to get a mention for Healesville. All, except for Millwood, finished top ten in the league B & F with Hottes and Mende finishing second and third respectively. When you say "ex Lilydale" how much time...

Served one game already but not selected tomorrow according to the list on the league website. Wandin playing funny buggers or is there something else at play?

Turned out to be a pretty good prediction especially as it was made in January! Now the tricky bit, turning it into a lotto win. But before that (hopefully) happens how will the finals pan out? On form it looks as though Olinda and Woori are the teams to beat. Healesville are sputtering a...

Thanks Upwey Fan. I guess you, and plenty of others around Upwey, were more than a little relieved when the siren went on Saturday. Three games to go and still controlling your own destiny. You should have wins in the next 2 rounds, but may have a big hill to climb at Olinda in the last round...

Sorry if this is re-hashing old news but I don't recall anything from the league about this. I see that Toby left in April. Did he jump or was he pushed?

No, haven't heard anything. Not that I've asked. Bit disappointing if true if you break down their areas of concern. As I said in an earlier post I didn't think the umpiring was too bad. Rob Bayliss did mention in his match report a couple of dubious umpiring decisions so if both teams have...

Olinda kicked into the man on the mark at least 3 times and Wandin was guilty of more than a couple of centre square infringements; that's nohing to do with pressure. A 50m penalty for overstepping the mark wouldn't be classed as pressure either. The Olinda forwards constantly ran under the...

Who would've thought that snow threatened the hills just a couple of days ago. The weather gods certainly smiled today; so it was off to Wandin for a top of the table clash. I'm not sure if Wandin won it or Olinda lost it as Olinda's skill level was, to put it mildly, atrocious. Wandin had...

As in players being dropped, or something more sinister? Going by the match report on the Leagues website Olinda tore Monbulk apart so should account for Wandin (in the ressies). Wandin will be keen to win, as if they do, they've beaten everyone in Div.1. Wandin to win, and win well...

Call it the Mick Walker effect:yum:

I can only imagine what it would've been like in the rooms after Mt. Evelyn beat Wandin in round 1 to what it would be like now. The Mounters have only won 1 and Wandin only lost 1 since and, ironically, both in round 3. Healesville have notched a couple of goods over the last 2 weeks and...

So if they have the room, I wonder if any of them will land 1 more recruit before clearances close at the end of the month?

Good effort by Monbulk. My rule of thumb is that you don't win to many games of football if you have to kick as many goals in the last quarter as you have in the first 3. A loss yesterday would have seen Monbulk out of the 5 by 2 games, but yesterday's win still gives them a chance. Woori are...

Extract from the MPFNL website: The MPNFL Senior Squad versus Northern FL will be selected from the best players available. Whilst the second game versus AFL Yarra Ranges which has been named the “MPNFL Young Guns” will be made up of the younger talent in the MPNFL in an opportunity to expose...

Having a look on the history page of the league website supports your suggestion that the jump is huge. Olinda in 2009 and Healesville in 2013 are the only two premiers from second division in recent history that are travelling alright at the minute, even though Olinda were only a game away...

Five weeks in and a couple of things to ponder. Yarra Glen couldn't get a kick in a street fight in first division last year and sit on top of the table in second division undefeated. Emerald, who were premiers in second division last year, are yet to open their account and sit second bottom...

I'll save you the time - zilch.

I suppose it stems from who you follow. "Tezzas Tiger News" on the Upwey website is pretty clear on what happened (from an Upwey point of view of course).

Being risk adverse I went up to Olinda today as I'm not sure that there will be a better day up there weather wise. Both clubs got 3 wins each with Wandin winning A, B & C grade netball and Olinda winning D grade netball and both reserves and senior footy. After half an inch of rain yesterday...

Hopefully the weather gods are kind next Saturday as it should be good day of local footy and netball up the mountain with Olinda hosting Wandin. Both of these clubs are currently first and second on the ladder in A, B & D grade netball, first and third in C grade netball and second and third...

So with all the talk on here lately about Healesville and Wandin, and with no disrespect to Upwey or Mount Evelyn, who was the biggest loser out of those two?

Wow!, only 9 teams in the under 18's and no Healesville and 2 of those teams are the result of clubs combining. Speaking of Healesville, is the David Clarke that has come across from the Heathcote league the David Clarke that played at Geelong? If so, looks like another handy pickup.

I know they'll say we had X amount of players out today (I've never really understood why clubs use this excuse in practise games but not during the regular season), but Wandin absolutely pantsed by Montrose today to the tune of 82 points. When Montrose decided to go direct instead of trying to...

Maybe Brett Fishers business commitments aren't quite as demanding as stated by Wandin. Hear he will be named in a coaching capacity very soon (obviously not at the Kennel).

Sounds like a good starting point. I was having a chat with a mate the other day and our discussion turned to local footy. He told me that his son (not in our league) signed a contract to play for his club and also had to give them a form stating that he was playing footy "as a hobby," so was...
